Senior Engineer(FPGA)
Summary
Senior FPGA engineer combining systems engineering and hands-on FPGA work: architecting and coding VHDL/Verilog designs on Xilinx/Intel platforms, running synthesis, timing closure and verification, integrating IP and custom interfaces (PCIe, JESD204B, Ethernet), and supporting HIL testing and documentation. On-site in Ang Mo Kio, Singapore; Singaporeans only.
Be Part of Our Success
- System Engineering Duties : Elicit, analyze, and manage system-level requirements. Define system architecture and allocate requirements to hardware, software, and FPGA subsystems. Develop system verification plans and traceability matrices. Conduct trade-off studies (performance, power, cost, schedule) for FPGA vs. other processing solutions (DSP, GPU, MCU). Lead design reviews and interface with customers on technical specifications.
- FPGA Design Duties : Architect, code (VHDL/Verilog), simulate, and implement FPGA designs on Xilinx or Intel platforms. Perform synthesis, place-and-route, timing closure, and power analysis. Develop testbenches and verification environments (including self-checking and coverage-driven verification). Integrate IP cores (third-party or legacy) and design custom interfaces (PCIe, JESD204B, Ethernet, ADC/DAC controllers). Debug FPGA-related system issues using logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and JTAG debuggers.
- Integration & Validation : Support hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing and system-level integration. Work alongside software engineers to validate driver and firmware interactions. Generate documentation, requirements specification, design description, verification report, and user manual.
- Prepare comprehensive firmware/software documentation by converting software and interface requirements into clear and concise development specifications.
